What Happened To Sir Mix-a-Lot? | Does He STILL Like Big Butts?

- Little did Anthony Ray know, better known by his stage name Sir Mix-a-Lot, that his song about his love for bodacious backsides would not only become a double platinum hit but, change his life forever. The Auburn, Washington born rapper, songwriter, and record producer grew up in Seattle's Central District. Life in the city during the ‘70s wasn’t easy. Wide spread unemployment and a tanking economy led to sky high food prices and rising rates of people deciding to take their own lives. The streets, owned by gangs and pimps, could have had an unfortunate influence young Sir Mix-a-Lot but, his mother made sure that wasn’t going to happen on her watch. As a child he was a fan of Prince, Michael Jackson and, his personal favourite, James Brown but listened to a wide variety of musical genres, including rock and heavy metal. He also began to develop a love of the growing new genre of hip hop.

Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot is and will always be a timeless classic
Mix probably started interracial dating!
Yes.
I was 12 yrs old when this song came out and it was definitely an eye opening experience!! 😁😁😁😁
Before Baby Got Back was on the scene...Posse On Brodway and Beepers were hits as well!
My Hooptie, Square Dance Rap & One Time's Got No Case!!!
Gortex too.
Sheeee’s baaaack 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎬 I was waiting for you to drop a video. I was in high school when Sir Mixalot came out, at our prom we had a beautiful Vice Principal and she jumped on the dance floor and started shaking when this song came on. Our school vice principal reminds me of La La Valdez, but the sad part is that Mixalot didn’t create the song for black women like we thought he did. He was talking about women like JLo and other Latino women. During spring break the year Sir Mixalot came out with “Baby Got Back” myself and some of my teammates drove down to Panama City Beach for MTV Spring Break and he performed with ALL WHITE WOMEN dancers 👯♀️. We were standing close to the stage looking at each other like “WTF” 🤣. But we drove down to Daytona, Florida and watched Uncle Luke with “Two Live Crew” and then we had the time of our lives lol 😂. Good job 👍🏾 once again and I appreciate you bringing me back down memory lane
Umm.. he mentioned Flo Jo(Florence GriffinJoyner) in the song Who is the only BLACK WOMAN given an actual shot out in the lyrics.. he also had a visual reference for Josephine Baker(ole school singer from the 1920's) Not to mention the Beautiful Deeply Melaninated Queen at the beginning of the video as well as the other Brown and Dark skinned sistas throughout....So when I see the video I know it promotes Black Women as Beautiful. They (wytppl) were 8utthurt and called it rayciss.. so he caught a lot of flack for that... so I think he tried to save face by putting hwiite women in the live shows as well as using that lameass answer in his interview to make it seem inclusive.. Note he challenged the WHITE Beauty Standard at that time period... which was definitely a no no in the industry... he was forced to play ball that's all that was..ijs🤷🏾
Love these stories so much
Glad he's doing well 🙏🏾
I love Sir Mix a lot he did things his own way had his own style
Who remembers on Futurama when Fry was bumping this song and Leela said you can't just sit in the dark and listen to classical music?
Funny as I'm reading your comment, Futurama is on the tube!
Sir Mix-a-Lot also made a cameo appearance in Macklemore's White Walls music video
Sir Mix-a-Lot definitely deserves more credit and he also deserves his flowers while he's still here
I remember when Sir Mix A lot , Tone Loc and Young MC were different at the time but still getting some shine.
Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot also appeared on the compilation album MTV Party to Go Vol. 3
Let’s get back to the root is back 💃🏾
I love the song Technicolor that influenced Baby Got Back as well! Sir Mix a Lot does deserve his flowers for this ORIGINAL 🍑 anthem! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Welcome back!
The golden era booty🍑anthem that set the stage for future artists to follow.
Sir Mix-a-Lot...The Seattle LEGEND
Welcome back
His songs pre-Baby Got Back are hip-hop classics. Posse On Broadway, Gortex, Hooptie, etc. are straight bangers.
Sir Mix A Lot has made over 100 million dollars off of that one song- imagine that?
That’s insane. Mariah Carey is only estimated to have made ~65m from her track “All I Want For Christmas Is You”, which has been far more imbedded in our culture than BGB imo (not a dig to Sir Mix at all). Maybe he’s embellishing a bit. Maybe it’s the fact that the song is a bit younger, idk. Still a great accomplishment for him nevertheless.
@@scoobooyt Naw, BGB is a certified societal, cultural phenomenon- it's mentioned, used everywhere from tv to films to commercials which all equal revenue.
So...the women that he envisioned were Shakira (who doesn't "have back") and JLo? Why'd he use black women in the video, then? 🤨🤔😒 Also, he said he wasn't talking about women who look like him, so, black women? Or did he mean overweight women? But then he started talking about Latinas, so I'm confused. SMH
Honestly this comment sums up my thoughts! So confusing and typical- so the song isn’t about the women who are known for having bigger booties i.e. black women?!?!😕🙄
How much money they've making off our backs!! Now we need to ask ourselves that question.
BABY GOT BACK got mad play on the radio but didn't hear any of his other tracks that I can remember.
Awesome story! I'm really happy to see this man still winning 🙌🏾
Poses on broadway was is still my jam.
Central District in da House!!

Urwellcome anytime Hun 💯💓🥰
crazy. I was just thinking about this song & how hes doing 💛
Not me just finding your channel an hour ago, binging, and you posting now? Where you been hiding in my recommendations 😂
I'm the man they love to hate, the J.R. Ewing of Seattle!😁
He said he brings in millions off of "baby got back" publishing. Blake Lively is a bad white women i don't think she meant harm. She just wanted to pop her shii.
I know we aren't important as the billboards but black folks knew who he was after my posse on Broadway.
Mix a Lot is A Legend in Seattle
Sir-Mix-ALot.
Known for this song, 😍🤣🌍🚭😴✅🛑🥺😣😳😲😊🚫 baby 🤣🌍🚭😴✅🛑🥺😣😳😲😊👍 got back 🤣🌍🚭😴✅🛑🥺😣😳😲😊👍🔙😎❤️🤗🫂😁💡.
Best known for his hit, Baby got Back.
There are black and white women got back !! Come on people!!
So Sir Mix a lot wasn't exactly a 1 wonder but BABY GOT BACK was n always b the joint
"chief boot knocka" 💀
Thank you
It genuinely cracks me tf up how Mix-A-Lot is so particular about the type of (unrealistic) woman he’s into, but then in the same breath he degrades other women for their appearance when dude legit looks like the dad from that Dinosaurs sitcom in the 90s…..“Not da mama! Not da mama!” 💀

Can we get a Tamar Braxton Documentary ?
Baby Got Back was my song it spoke about real life issues of what guys like me love girls with big butts, at the time you’ve people all upset about it thinking that they’re sexist and racist and things like that and all of sudden a white girl and her family has a there own tv show and seeing that her and her sisters have big butts and just like that having people going under the knife just to look like them.
My hoopdieeee
The publishing rights are the key. You own those then you will always have some kind of real mo ey coming in. Not that chump change the record labels give you
